A man has been arrested for issuing a death threat to Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, police said today. Mohammad Faizan Khan, a lawyer, was arrested from his residence in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur for making the threat call to the 59-year-old actor and demanding ₹ 50 lakh.
He was arrested after he failed to appear before the Mumbai Police.
Faizan had earlier said his mobile phone – which was used to make the threatening call last week – was stolen. He also said that he filed a police case on November 2.
